What Is a Carbon Peel Laser?

A Carbon Peel Laser is a two-step laser facial:

  1. Liquid carbon mask is applied to the skin
  2. A laser passes over the carbon, vaporizing it along with impurities

As the laser heats and removes the carbon particles, it also stimulates the skin, helping to cleanse pores and improve texture.

Key characteristics

  • Non-invasive
  • No needles or downtime
  • Immediate brightening effect
  • Suitable for repeated treatments

Why Carbon Peel Is Popular in Seoul

How Carbon Peel Laser Works

The liquid carbon penetrates pores and binds to:

  • Oil (sebum)
  • Dead skin cells
  • Surface debris

When the laser is applied:

  • Carbon explodes microscopically
  • Pores are cleansed
  • Heat stimulates collagen and reduces oil activity
